Genie lovers rejoice! Shantae: Risky's Revenge is making the move from the DSi to iOS later this week. Even if you are one of those terrible genie racists, you should still check this gem out. Gorgeous visuals and great music make the game a treat, and then there's the pirates, belly dancing and shape shifting. I hope this enhanced port lives up to the high standard of the DSi version.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge will drop on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch later this week. So get your belly dancing gear ready. In the mean time, enjoy these fine works of art for your iOS devices.
